American

G             Bm
Play house, put my favorite record on
G             Bm
Get down, get your Crystal Method on
          C
You were like, tall, tan, drivin' 'round the city
    Am
Flirtin' with the girls like, "You're so pretty."
    C
"Springsteen is the king, don't you think?"
       Am
I was like, "Hell yeah, that guy can sing."

Em
Like ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
C
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-oh


[Chorus]

              G                  Bm
You make me crazy, you make me wild
              G                           Bm
Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child
       C             Am
Your skin so golden brown
      C             Am
Be young, be dope, be proud

Like an American

 G                              Bm
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh
Bm
Like an American x2


[Verse 2]

G              Bm
Drive fast, I can almost taste it now
G        Bm
L.A., I don't even have to fake it now
        C
You were like so sick, everybody said it
 Am
You were way ahead of the trend, ge-get it
 C
Elvis is the best, hell yes
 Am
Honey, put on that party dress

 Em
Like ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
 C
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-oh

Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child
       C             Am
Your skin so golden brown
     C                 Am
Be young, be dope, be proud

Like an American

 G                             Bm
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh

[Bridge]

D                     Am
Everybody wants to go fast
                  D
But they can't compare
                        Am
I don't really want the rest
                       D
Only you can take me there
                             Em
I don't even know what I'm saying,
           C         D
But I'm praying for you.


[Chorus]

              G                 Bm
You make me crazy, you make me wild
              G                           Bm
Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child
      C               Am
Your skin so golden brown
      C                Am
Be young, be dope, be proud
